The Problem

Your accountant is good. They just don't know construction.

High-street accountants are trained to process returns — not optimise them for CIS subcontractors. They handle hairdressers, landlords, Deliveroo riders, and you. All with the same generic checklist.

They don't ask about your mileage log. They don't know that parking and tolls are claimable on top of the 45p rate. They've never heard of the flat-rate laundry allowance. They don't check whether your contractor deducted CIS on materials when they shouldn't have. They file what you give them — and you don't know what you're missing.

The Deliverable

What your accountant actually receives.

This isn't a list of suggestions. It's a professional, ready-to-file handoff pack with every number calculated, every document attached, and every claim referenced against HMRC guidance.

ScaleUp LITE — Accountant Handoff Pack

Prepared for [Client Name] | Tax Year 2025/26

Income & CIS Deduction Summary

All PDS slips reconciled. Gross income, CIS deducted, materials breakdowns. Cross-referenced against HMRC CIS records. Discrepancies flagged.

Categorised Expense Schedule

Every allowable expense identified, categorised by HMRC heading, with supporting evidence attached. Travel, tools, PPE, phone, insurance, training, home use — the lot.

Mileage Calculation (45p/25p)

Mileage log reconstructed from site records, bank transactions, and client info. Total business miles calculated. Mileage vs actual cost comparison — whichever saves more.

Use of Home Calculation

Flat rate claim calculated, PLUS separate fixed-cost claims (council tax, insurance, mortgage interest) most accountants don't know you can stack on top.

Capital Allowance Schedule

Any vans, plant, or major equipment identified with purchase dates, prices, and AIA calculations. Ready to enter on the return.

Personal Reliefs Checklist

Marriage allowance eligibility + backdate calculation. Pension relief. HICBC mitigation. Student loan thresholds. Every personal angle checked.

Accountant Cover Note

Plain-English summary of everything found, with HMRC manual references for anything non-standard. Your accountant can verify every claim in minutes.

A note for accountants

We're not replacing you. We're making your job easier and your client happier. The handoff pack is designed to slot straight into your workflow — categorised by SA100 headings, with HMRC references on every non-obvious claim. Your client gets a bigger refund. You spend less time on prep. Everyone wins.

How It Works

15 minutes of your time. That's it.

1

Send us your PDS slips and bank statements

Photo them on your phone. WhatsApp them over. We accept photos, PDFs, screenshots — whatever's easiest. No printing, no posting.

2

Answer the construction checklist

We send you a short questionnaire built for subbies — not generic accountant questions. Mileage, tools, training, working away, home use, spouse, van. Takes about 15 minutes. We chase the gaps so your accountant doesn't have to.

3

We build the handoff pack

Our team cross-references everything, runs the 30+ item checklist, calculates every claim, and assembles the professional pack. Every number backed by evidence. Every non-obvious claim referenced against HMRC manuals.

4

Hand it to your accountant (or we send it direct)

You get the pack as a PDF. Forward it to your accountant or give us their email and we'll send it with a cover note. They file it. You get more back. Done.

The Gap

This is what your accountant isn't claiming.

Not because they're bad. Because they've got 400 clients across 50 different industries and a generic checklist that doesn't ask a groundworker about his CPCS tickets.

"I've been with my accountant for 6 years. Good bloke. When I showed him the ScaleUp pack, he said 'I wouldn't have known to ask you about half of this.' We claimed an extra £3,800 that year."
— Joiner, Central Belt

Common misses — and what they cost you

Full mileage claim £2k–£5k/yr

No mileage log means no claim. We reconstruct it from site records and bank data.

Van capital allowance (AIA) £3k–£6k

Accountant put it on "motor expenses." No AIA claimed. That's a one-year write-off they missed entirely.

Home use (flat rate + fixed costs stacked) £300–£900/yr

Most don't know the flat rate and fixed costs can be claimed together. We calculate both.

Marriage Allowance (4-year backdate) Up to £1,258

Partner earns under £12,570? Free money. Accountant never asked.

Materials deducted incorrectly on PDS £500–£2k

CIS should only apply to labour. We cross-reference every PDS breakdown.

Subsistence, parking, tolls, training, laundry, phone… £1k–£4k/yr

The long tail of small claims that add up to thousands. We catch every one.

Pricing

£97 to find thousands your accountant missed.

The pack typically uncovers £3,000–£12,000 in extra deductions. Your accountant's fee stays the same. The only difference is the size of your refund.

Questions

You're probably wondering…

"Why can't my accountant just do this?"
They can — if they know what to look for. Most high-street accountants handle dozens of industries with the same generic checklist. Ours is built specifically for CIS subcontractors from actual HMRC manuals. We ask questions about your trade that your accountant wouldn't think to ask.
"Will my accountant actually use this?"
Yes. Every claim is categorised by SA100 headings with HMRC manual references. It's designed to slot into their workflow, not create extra work. Most accountants love it — the prep is already done, the evidence is attached, and the client gets a better result. That's a win for everyone.
"I don't have an accountant — can I still use this?"
Absolutely. The pack is detailed enough that any accountant could pick it up cold and file the return. We can recommend one if you need. Or if you want us to handle the full return too, ask about ScaleUp LITE Full Service.
"What if you don't find anything extra?"
Then you don't pay. Our guarantee is simple: if the pack doesn't identify at least £500 in extra deductions your accountant wasn't already claiming, we refund you in full. No awkward conversation, no small print.
"What do I need to send you?"
Your CIS Payment & Deduction Statements (PDS slips), 12 months of bank statements, and your UTR + NI number. Then answer the checklist — about 15 minutes on your phone. We handle everything else.
"£97 seems cheap — what's the catch?"
No catch. We don't have an in-house accountant on payroll — that's your accountant's job. We just do the bit they're not equipped to do: the construction-specific detective work. Lower overheads means a lower price for you. The value is in the checklist, not the filing.
"Can you send the pack straight to my accountant?"
Yes. Give us their email and we'll send it with a professional cover note explaining what's in the pack and how to use it. Or you can download it yourself and forward it. Either way.

Your accountant does the filing. We find the money.

15 minutes of your time. A construction-specific checklist your accountant doesn't have. Thousands more back in your pocket. From £97.
